About:
Vulkan Profiles is a collection of tools and libraries designed to simplify Vulkan API development by managing feature sets and device configurations. It provides a standardized way to define, select, and verify capabilities, reducing boilerplate code and ensuring compatibility across different hardware. This package includes the command-line tools necessary for working with profile files.
Key Features:
  • Command-line tools for validating and merging profile files
  • Standardized API for querying and enabling device features
  • Integration with Vulkan SDK for streamlined development
  • Support for defining custom hardware capability sets
Use Cases:
  • Developing cross-platform Vulkan applications with consistent feature usage
  • Testing GPU capabilities against specific profile requirements
  • Reducing complexity in Vulkan device initialization and feature selection
Alternatives:
  • vulkan-headers – Provides raw API definitions, while Vulkan-Profiles adds tooling for managing feature sets.
  • vulkan-tools – Focuses on drivers and utilities, whereas Vulkan-Profiles specifically targets profile management.
